The closest tower crane to the B.U.C. HQ is still dong yeoman’s work at 4600 North Marine, the fully-grown 303-unit apartment tower in Uptown.
Congrats go out to the development team on topping out the 12-story building last month:
Developer Lincoln Property Company
Design Architect Valerio Dewalt Train Associates
General Contractor Gilbane Building Company
Concrete Contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction (drone shots!)
Last week, LG Group announced the topping out of Arthur on Aberdeen, the 19-story, 363-unit apartment building in Chicago’s West Loop. So last week, I took a 360-degree walk around the site for a look at progress from GC Power Construction and CC (concrete contractor) McHugh Concrete.
Congrats to the entire team, including design-architect NORR, and the topping out of a great-looking building on a sunny day.

Coppia, a 19-story, 298-unit residential tower from developer Pizzuti, broke ground early this year at 1101 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop. The apartment project fills in one of the few remaining spaces along the north side of the Eisenhower Expressway as you head west out of town. Design architect Goettsch Partners and general contractor Power Construction are part of Pizzuti’s team on this one.
Coppia has received permits for:
the tower crane on 12/15/2022
caissons on 12/22/20022
the construction hoist on 1/18/2023
foundations through level 4 on 1/18/2023

The second grouping of photos was taken March 15. There wasn’t much to see then. But lots of progress since.

DonateArthur on Aberdeen, the residential project at 210 North Aberdeen in the West Loop from LG Group, has grown by leaps and bounds since I last stopped by in August. I went by last week and found the first level of curtain wall almost complete. And you know how much I enjoy seeing the early signs of glass on a building. I figure it’s about time I posted some of those photos, eh?
Power Construction is on duty here as the general contractor. McHugh Concrete is handling masonry duties.
The NORR-designed apartment tower will boast 363 units across 19 stories.

DonateThe Weiss Hospital parking lot at Marine Drive and Wilson Avenue is gone. Toast. Rubble. History. Ground prep is underway after the first permits were issued early this month by the city for a new 12-story, 303-unit residential development here. The foundation permit came through on the first of the month. And no waiting on a tower crane permit; that was issued September 7.

Tandem announced in a LinkedIn post that they topped out 1044 West Van Buren last week. That same post also noted a name change: Sage West Loop is the West Loop’s newest new apartment project.
Sage West Loop will deliver 196 units across 18 stories with 78 parking spaces when completed in 2023. (Tandem’s website says the third quarter of 2023, but as quickly as they’ve reached final height, I wouldn’t be surprised to see tenants moving in much sooner than that.)
Congratulations on the topping out to Tandem, the developer and general contractor, design-architect Antunovich Associates, and concrete contractor Adjustable Concrete Construction.

Just in the nick of time, before August ended, 210 North Aberdeen got the tower crane up in the air. Work was supposed to have started Monday, but weather may certainly have hampered those proceedings. But Tuesday and Wednesday were beautiful days, and it looked like the finished touches were being wrapped up Wednesday afternoon. My guess is that crane is lifting all manner of heavy stuff by Thursday morning. Shout-out to Power Construction and All Crane for breaking our mini-Chicago-tower-crane slump.

DonateSorry to be so dramatic. It hasn’t really been that long. But since we’ve lost three tower cranes (160 N Elizabeth, 166 North Aberdeen, 853 West Blackhawk) this month, it’s nice to see one going up.
And that’s going to happen starting Monday at 210 North Aberdeen. (h/t to Chris for dropping the hint.) That tower crane base is well-hidden, but the behemoth ALL Crane next to it gives away the story.
